The Internet was not designed for the rigors of business that we experience today. Anticipating the traffic, innovation and demand to come, Akamai created a business-ready platform. We have transformed the Internet into a fast, reliable and secure place to deliver content and applications. At the core of Akamai’s platform is intelligent software… patented algorithms that help companies overcome unreliable networks, congestion, inefficient protocols and malicious attacks. It maps users to the most optimal servers, routes traffic along the fastest paths, shapes content for the most efficient delivery, and mitigates cyber threats. This intelligent software ties everything together in a single, united platform delivering high levels of availability, on-demand scale and around-the-clock insight and control.

The Akamai Platform stands between your infrastructure and the public Internet’s great unknown, helping to protect your content, applications and data centers from cyber threats. Because we deliver 15-30% of the world’s web interactions every day we see more malicious requests than anyone. We continually analyze data from hundreds of millions of unique IP addresses, and our distributed architecture absorbs, deflects and filters malicious requests close to the attack source.

Akamai offers a comprehensive portfolio of TLS certificate options with complete lifecycle management, and has the tools, systems, and expertise to meet the needs of every business delivering traffic securely over HTTPS. Akamai also leads the way in helping even highly-regulated industries to leverage CDN and Cloud Security Services through certifications and compliance management frameworks including Level1 PCI and FedRamp Compliance, ISO20xxx, HIPAA, FISMA, BITS and others.
